8. Encourage the dreams of others.
Be careful, if someone takes the time to share his dream he is in a very vulnerable position. Never become a dream killer but a dream nurturer.
“Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside of us while we are still alive.”
First, ask people to share their dreams with you. Second, affirm the person as well as the dream. Third, ask about the challenges they must overcome to achieve their dreams. Fourth, offer your assistance. Fifth, revisit their dream with them on a consistent basis. Sixth, determine to be a dream booster, not a dream buster.
To apply this principle: Forget about destroying someone’s dream. Ask who can I encourage today to reach his dream. Offer specific help to help someone fulfill his dream.
